Emboldened by Rudi's comments, I have put together a crude package for anyone interested in automating the process of creating range named cells from multiple label cells (FabNameCollection), upgrading cell formuale to replace cell references C43 with range names (FormulasToRangeNames) and a means (MoveFormula) to sort the formulae in a worksheet so that the calculation flows in a linear fashion top to bottom.
The code is not robust. It was written to speed up my work in making repeated clean-ups of a set of client workbooks. In particular, I am waist-deep right now in getting a better understanding of how to use the macros to effect the best clean-up job in a workbook.
There's one more macro of which I am particularly fond: StringFunction. This macro takes a selection of cells and fabricates a user-defined VBA function, thereby eliminating the need for any formulae code to be left within the worksheets.
I'm happy to discuss this in this thread or, if it gets too personal, by PM and email.
Before anyone says "Thank You", I'd like to point out that just about everything I know about VBA I learned from the fine people in this and previous incarnations of this Lounge.
You know who you are.
Thank You.

Jan Karel, thanks for pointing this out.
The lack of a link was brought about by my supper guest arriving early (around 2pm), and getting me flustered.
(A very good night, thank you ...)
